I have used Hot Trails candles in my area before others discovered them. I was only able to keep it a secret a short while because I was getting my limit with big bucks. People started talking and the local distributor was booming with sales. Great product.
William Harrelson
Deer will come out of the woods right to the candle. Just seeing that is amazing!
Mike
I’ve used Hot Trails for years and have always had great success. I’ve told many others about Hot Trails over the years.
Wayne McDaniel
I have only used Hot Trails for one year and I had a very good experience from it in archery season. Hot Trails is like a magnet, there’s no other way of putting it. When they catch the scent you couldn’t keep the bucks off of it. I’m serious, you need to buy this and throw everything else out. It's an amazing product.
Derek Cramer
I'm from WV an I've used the Hot Trails candles, and I've had good luck with them. The bucks came right in to my tree stand. I hunt on state land and you're not allowed to bait, so these work good for me. I've used them for about ten years.
Roger Jones
I have used a lot of scents over the years, but today they just don’t seem as effective as they once were. I have used your candles with great success, and I will continue to buy your candles because I feel that the heat makes it work better.
Matt Ransone
My four biggest whitetail, all in the 130-140 class, three in central/west Texas and one in Illinois were taken when the wicks were lit! Any time I’m in the woods, whether meat or bone hunting the candles are out. Great product that works!
Bill Rucker
I have been using HOT TRAILS SCENTED CANDLES for MANY years and they WORK like NO OTHER PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED. I have been deer hunting for 53 years and I make sure I have PLENTY for EACH hunting season.
Bud Fields
I discovered Hot Trails about five years ago. Since then I have brought in three nice buck and tonight I missed a nice eight-point buck. I have seen buck smell the candles from about 200 yards away and eventually come to where I could get a bowshot.

What are Hot Trails© Scented Hunting Candles?

Hot Trails is the original Scented Hunting Candle. Started in 1991 by Bill Moore after he continued to not have much success with traditional deer lure scents. Bill worked in a candle factory making scented wax products at the time and he noticed these products put out a strong fragrance even when not burning them, and they smelled for hours and hours. Bill thought, “if I can do this with vanilla… why not DOE IN HEAT!” And Hot Trails Scented Deer Hunting Candles were born!

Hot Trails scented hunting candles can penetrate up to 500 yards and last for up to 5 hours per candle. Comes in 13 different scents: Doe-N-Heat, Dominate Buck, Coyote/Fox Attraction, Apple, Earth, Corn, Acorn, Persimmon, Honey, Anise, Cinnamon, Bacon and Curiosity.
